The 2020 Château Suduiraut Premier Cru Classé is rich, golden, and layered, but with a brightness that keeps it from ever feeling heavy.
The estate itself is one of the historic names of Sauternes, classified as Premier Cru in 1855. Its vineyards lie next to the famous Château d’Yquem, on gravelly soils that drain well and encourage the development of botrytis, the noble rot that concentrates flavour and sweetness in the grapes. With roots going back to the 16th century Suduiraut has a reputation for making some of the most age-worthy sweet wines in the region.
What the critics say:
"On another level, the 2020 Château Suduiraut is flat-out stunning and boasts a phenomenal array of orange blossom, honeyed minerality, lychee nut, caramelized peach, and assorted spices. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it nevertheless has the vintage’s riveting purity and precision. Sauternes doesn't get much better."
"The 2020 Suduiraut, which is pure 100% Sémillon, has a fabulous, rich and expressive bouquet with wild honey and orange pith, dried mango hints and quince laced with melted candle wax and saffron. The palate is supremely well-balanced with the viscous texture and density you would expect from this estate. Yet there is a sense of control and tension that drags you back for another sip. Of course, we're on the open pages of a very long book, but this is already sizing up to be a very enjoyable "read"."
